"cgi paths? HELP."

I'm trying to set up a cgi to post form data back to me, I'm using the form located at: http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/readme/formmail.shtml
but I can't get it to work, I am a bit confused about the pathways to the script from my html form on my website, all I am getting is a 404 error.
Any help would be greatly recieved.
Thanks,
Dano.

Ok, got it sorted, I had to specify the email address to send to as it did not like the blanket [email protected].

Tried that, the support pages suggest setting it to 777 which had no effect so I tried your suggestion which still had no effect.
Dano.

CHMOD 755 the CGI script. Your FTP program should have this function, unless you're using Internet Explorer, which isn't an FTP program.

Ok, I seem to be getting someware, I am now getting a 500 error code Internal server error. Any Ideas. Damn I feel useless.

Tried that, but it still does not want to work.

We could really do with stickies.. these kind of topics pop up a lot..

You put the CGI script in the cgi-sh directory on your Freeola webspace. Then, the path is cgi-bin/whateveryourscriptiscalled.cgi (from the htdocs dir, naturally).

Yep, its on freeola.
The url is www.copanddog.com/test1.html
I've looked at the support page but still can't get it to work. Its probably something really simple but I can't see it.

Have a look at http://www.freeola.info/supportdocs/webspace_cgi.php and see if thet help.

Are you hosting the site on Freeola, by the way???
